Flame Temperatures Saturate with Increasing Dead Material in <i>Ulex europaeus</i>, but Flame Duration, Fuel Consumption and Overall Flammability Continue to Increase

A key determinant of wildfire behaviour is the flammability of constituent plants. One plant trait that influences flammability is the retention of dead biomass, as the low moisture content of dead material means less energy is required to achieve combustion. However, the effect of the dead-to-live...
